Tulsa vs UTSA Prediction
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are getting trucked defensively as of late, allowing 70-plus points in seven of their last 10 games. We’ve also seen Tulsa lose outright as a favorite recently to Rice, Southern, and Georgia State. Basically, with a 3-7 SU and 2-7 ATS in their last 10 games, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane has seen better days. The UTSA Roadrunners are 4-1 SU at home this season, and their up-tempo style is sure to give this struggling Tulsa defense fits. We’ve seen Tulsa score 80 or more points in three of its last five games. I’ll lay the reasonable line with UTSA at home.
